Coachella 2011


Well, after weeks of agonizing torture and teasing us with the potential lineup, Goldenvoice finally has relented and given us the lineup for 2011. I will say that on first glance I was not that impressed with the bands chosen. The headliners are especially wanting. Kings of Leon? Seriously? Ok, Arcade Fire I suppose is a good choice, but I am still on the fence about them and I will only see them if there is nothing conflicting. And I will admit, that I would love to see Kanye West, so 1 1/2 out of 3 headliners is not too bad. However, after looking through the lists for the 3 days I have found lots of bands I am excited to see; although Saturday looks to be a pretty dry list of bands for me. Below is a list of the bands I am going to check out each of the days. Bands in bold are must sees.
